Quick-cooking orzo stands in for arborio rice to make a creamy risotto-like dish.
First, youll prep a variety of mushrooms and roast them until tender and golden.
Then youll cook chopped onion in oil before toasting the orzo in the pan.

The orzo will cook together with the broth instead of gradually stirring in cupfuls of broth.
The starch the orzo releases as it cooks helps to make this dish super creamy.
Luscious burrata is just the cherry on top.
Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove any tough stems from mushrooms and tear or chop mushrooms into large pieces.
Spread in a single layer.
Roast until tender and golden, about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a medium pot over medium.
Add broth and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
(If liquid evaporates before orzo is tender, add water 1/4 cup at a time.)
Stir in butter, vinegar, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
